You would need to see a veterinarian in person to establish a valid veterinary patient/client relationship for Lucy and to make sure she is healthy to start preventatives. You could make an appointment with a veterinarian near you, or you can also obtain this service (along with a heartworm test which would be required first) at Vetco vaccine clinics.
